There’s one critical difference between these two things: Your vote affects the whole country, not only yourself. Someone who decides to use that power based on vibes and willful ignorance while there’s no shortage of people telling them the truth can’t later claim innocence; we as people have a duty to at least try to be informed on the consequences our actions have on other people. MAGAs would deserve some sympathy if their stupidity only affected themselves, but there’s certainly no party affiliation filter to being thrown in Alligator Alcatraz.
